The first visible response in livestock to the bite of a trypanosome-infected tsetse fly is the formation of a localized skin reaction, also known as a chancre. This is an inflammatory response in the skin associated with swelling and an influx of cells. It is thought to be associated with an a...

IgD, first demonstrated in humans, has been unequivocally shown to exist in primates and rodents. In addition to lgM a second unique membrane isotype, generally considered to be lgD, has been demonstrated in a number of other species, including dogs and chickens. Because of its assumed widespread...

Conditions were established to obtain depletion of T lymphocyte subsets in lymphoid tissues of calves by injection of mouse monoclonal antibodies to T cell antigens. Adverse reactions were avoided by injecting small quantities of antibody until target cells had disappeared from blood. Two differe...

East coast fever (ECF) is a major tick-borne disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva (1). ECF is an acute leukemia-like disease of cattle that is endemic in eastern, central and souther Africa, where it is responsible for significant mortality and losses in animal production. ...

Although specific immunoglobulin (Ig) and B cell responses are suppressed during an infection, there is a general activation of the humoral component of the immune system in infections with African trypanosomes. The changes in the humoral immune systems during infections are summarised in this pa...
